    Yeah, hundreds is probably a low guess but I’m also excluding Android itself. There Play Store itself has a ton of features most of its end users aren’t aware of that are important to it’s overall operation and development ecosystem. Off the top of my head it does things like code signing and authentication, security scans, governance and enforcement of rules, payment processing, etc.

      Sure, and I have no numbers. My point is that splitting out the store is inherently bad accounting, because it’s all of their development of Android that the play store funds.
